Honduras: Poor Homes over
800,000
Honduran President Manuel Zelaya
said near 800,000 homes are
ridden with destitution and
500,000 children live in abject
poverty.
At a seminar on Gender, Economy
and Development, Zelaya said
most households, made up of
women and children, are ridden
with extreme poverty, poor diet,
lack of medicine and
unemployment.
He admitted that most of the
seven million population suffers
deprivation, and announced
projects, like the
52-million-dollar rural housing
allocation to favor single
parent families led by women.
The president termed the social
situation critical and blamed
the exclusive development model
that prevails.
Zelaya also promised to invest
26 million dollars to back up
small businesses in Honduras.
